Strategy overview

Most moving-average setups smooth price; the indicator named in this video's title — MA(RSI) — smooths the oscillator instead, calculating the average on the Relative Strength Index series, the bounded 0–100 momentum reading, rather than on the candles. That relocation is the whole idea: a crossing no longer marks price moving through an average of its own recent history, it marks momentum turning through an average of its own. The entry lists RSI alongside a pair of EMAs, the ordinary signature of a fast/slow crossover, and the title is the only thing that says which series those averages are meant to sit on.

The source is also not a trading channel. forextester.com publishes historical-simulation software, and this entry carries the trace of that in an unusual place — its timeframe field holds two values rather than one: an operating range of 15 minutes and above, and a separate 30-minute chart identified as the backtesting example. Recording the chart a setup was demonstrated on apart from the range it is recommended for is a testing habit rather than a signal-calling one, and it is the clearest fingerprint the publisher left on the material.

No chapter timestamps survive for this video and this entry carries no extracted rule set, so the page stands on the concept and the source rather than on a decoded breakdown. One thing worth holding onto if you pursue the idea: an average applied to RSI is a smoothing layer stacked on an already-derived series, which adds lag to a reading designed to react quickly and behaves differently near the 0 and 100 boundaries than an average of unbounded price ever does.

Frequently asked questions

What does MA(RSI) mean in a trading strategy?

It refers to a moving average calculated on the RSI line itself rather than on price. Instead of comparing price to an average of price, the setup compares the momentum reading to an average of that same reading, so a crossing describes a turn in momentum rather than a move through a price level.

What timeframes does this RSI and moving average strategy use?

The entry records two: 15 minutes and above as the operating range, and a 30-minute chart as the one used for the backtesting example in the source material.

Who published the source video for this strategy?

forextester.com, which publishes historical-simulation (backtesting) software rather than running a trading channel. The entry reflects that origin in listing a backtesting-example timeframe separately from the recommended operating range.

Can an RSI-based moving average strategy be backtested?

Yes — RSI and moving averages are both fully mechanical, so the logic can be coded and run over historical data. This entry does not include an extracted rule set, so the specifics have to come from the source video. Strategy Decoder catalogs strategies like this one from video sources so the concept and its origin sit in one place.
